ToolNila is on a distinguished road
The program ("HDL/HDA All-in-one Utilities v.2.2" by codex) from the aforementioned link by spedmetal has a built-in packer.

I added my own BMP that was resized to the correct dimensions of 512 x 448 pixels and renamed to splash.bmp. I took the INSTALL and SYSTEM files from an unpatched HDLoader image that I have and checked to make sure that everything was correct inside these files.

Like I said I used the unpacked ~2 MB HDLOADER.ELF file. I compiled the ISO with Nero and burned it. I have a DMS3 chip (latest firmware) and a V7 PS2.

I made two iso's, one with the patched splash screen and one without. On both, I have /N, /C, /S, /L, /D marked (no disk seek/copyright remove/stop disc spinning/LBA 48-bit patch/Date-time correction) for the .elf file. I've installed each one and tried it and neither works. I also installed a working HDLoader (unpatched) AND a patched one on my MC at the same time, and oddly enough, the unpatched doesn't work anymore either. I figure the files are jumbled up on the MC.

I had to erase everything from my MC with a card killer program and reinstall the working copy.

I've coastered roughly 10 discs trying to get this crap to work. I've tried mentioning as much detail in this post as I can possibly imagine. Is there anything I missed?

Please help,

ToolNila
